Abstract
In this paper we propose an unified approach to manage the problems of data dependence analysis, unimodular loop transformation and data partitioning. This approach is based on the notion of data access descriptor, which captures the way how a data structure is effectively accessed in the different regions of a programs. We show that in our approach the previous problems could benefit of reusing the same kind of information, saving compiling time. Furthermore, the data access information could also be used to easily implement a test for the existence of communication free partition. A description of a new compiler phase, that collects data access functions, is described besides a brief description of the test above which need previous captured data information.
